Boom—
Ye Chen stepped forward, flicking his sleeve to block Cang Jitian's attack.
This scene directly shocked the many powerhouses watching from afar in the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Who exactly was this mysterious figure? He had actually blocked an attack from the great demon Cang Jitian. Even if this couldn't possibly be Cang Jitian's full-strength strike, for someone of his level—who had nearly slain a quasi-Saint Lord like Prince Gu Feng—a casual attack naturally contained earth-shattering divine might, not something an ordinary person could withstand.
Many felt a surge of curiosity, closely observing the other party.
A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Chen's face. Although he knew Cang Jitian was strong, he hadn't expected the other's spiritual sense to be so sharp. Separated by tens of thousands of miles, he could still sense Ye Chen's gaze and detect a sense of danger emanating from him.
Indeed, none who could become an Immortal True King were simple.
But he had also chosen to step out. Having just arrived in the Ancient Emperor Realm and wanting to better understand everything here, he naturally didn't want to be seen as one of these great demons and be ostracized.
Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth perfectly altered his appearance and original aura. A hazy divine radiance shrouded his body, making him appear mysterious and transcendent.
Both Ye Chen and Cang Jitian gazed at each other across tens of thousands of miles, their gazes clashing like heavenly swords, ringing with metallic clangs that tore through the void.
However, Cang Jitian let out a surprised sound. From this mysterious figure wreathed in divine radiance, he seemed to sense a vaguely familiar feeling, yet the aura was completely unfamiliar.
Moreover, this person gave him a mysterious and extraordinary feeling, faintly carrying a sense of great wariness. This was a feeling he had only ever felt from formidable enemies like Yuan Yao Divine King and Feng Wu.
He hadn't expected this mysterious figure to also give off such a feeling, causing his expression to turn several degrees more solemn.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the other's perception was unexpectedly sharp.
"Who are you?"
Cang Jitian took the initiative to speak. His ordinary appearance carried a special temperament, as noticeable as a Son of Heaven, especially after just slaying the quasi-Saint Lord Prince Gu Feng, which added a chilling, sharp killing intent.
Even separated by tens of thousands of miles, Lin Ke'er and the others on the Four-Winged Snake Dragon trembled.
Ye Chen's voice became much more weathered. "That is none of your concern."
Cang Jitian said, "Are you one of them?"
Ye Chen naturally knew the 'them' the other referred to were the True King geniuses of the Myriad Domains. He neither admitted nor denied it. "Whether I am or not, what does it matter to you?"
A hint of a smile appeared on Cang Jitian's face. "You are very powerful, and you feel very young to me—a young genius. Could you be one of the strongest young geniuses in this Ancient Emperor Realm? I am very interested."
The implication was clear: he wanted to fight.
Boom—
Cang Jitian moved. A distance of tens of thousands of miles would take ordinary mortals ten or eight days to travel, but for True King geniuses of this level, it wasn't much of a distance at all.
Especially for an invincible True King of the Saint Treasury Realm, who could slice through the long sky, grasp the laws of the void, and rush over as fast as a streak of light, crossing half the distance in just a few breaths—astonishingly fast.
Moreover, Cang Jitian directly formed seals and unleashed a technique. Boundless azure light erupted, flooding forth like an abyss or a sea.
The moment he attacked, it was a fearsome life-taking great technique, causing vast stretches of the heavens to collapse, displaying unparalleled strength.
An ordinary Saint here would undoubtedly be killed in a single strike.
Lin Ke'er and the others clearly hadn't expected the great demon Cang Jitian to attack so forcefully. They were all horrified, their faces pale with terror.
Even Cang Dragon, that dragon race demon saint, was severely intimidated. The other's imposing aura completely transcended his own, pressing down on him so hard he could barely breathe, let alone think of resisting.
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't let them come to harm. With a flick of his sleeve, a gentle light directly sent the Four-Winged Snake Dragon far into the distance. Otherwise, the fluctuations from the battle between the two would be far beyond what they could withstand.
Moreover, a brilliant fighting spirit shone in his eyes. He had yet to truly have a full-scale battle with a True King of the same realm, and he looked forward to it.
The previous exchange at the Dragon Phoenix Academy had been a simple spar, neither side fully unleashing their strength.
The battle with the Heavenly Roc King outside Wind Heaven City didn't count either, as the Heavenly Roc King wasn't a True King. Thus, he was anticipating this.
Beneath the hazy divine radiance, his supreme and abundant blood energy was completely restrained. He didn't release the unique golden, resplendent blood energy of his Saint Body. Instead, he operated his supreme Dao techniques and employed Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth to conceal his original aura, making his inherent divine abilities undetectable.
Whoosh—
The moment he engaged, Ye Chen unleashed a Void Banishment technique. He had used it before on the Tian Du Continent against Ancient Talents. Now, shattering the long sky, it directly devoured all the azure light, annihilating it completely.
Moreover, within the shattered void, a terrifying devouring force acted upon Cang Jitian, attempting to banish him along with it.
But who was Cang Jitian? A peerless True King of his generation. He stood firm there, unmovable as a mountain, his entire suit of armor clanging and shining with dazzling brilliance, resisting the devouring banishment.
Naturally, Ye Chen wasn't foolish enough to think a single Void Banishment could resolve Cang Jitian. Otherwise, a True King wouldn't be a True King.
Immediately after, he took a step forward, moving swiftly. He executed the Human King Seal, instantly transforming into the common sovereign of the human race, his aura majestic and vast. His attacking moves were grand and imposing, carrying righteous, awe-inspiring energy. He even pinched his fingers, giving birth to a massive heavenly millstone that directly crushed over.
Boom—
The heavenly millstone was filled with countless dense Dao marks. It passed through the heavens, directly covering the sky as it crushed toward Cang Jitian, aiming to grind him into paste.
The powerhouses watching from afar, along with Lin Ke'er and the others, were all dumbfounded. Especially Lin Ke'er's group, who already knew of Ye Chen's strength but hadn't imagined that even facing the great demon Cang Jitian who had slain Prince Gu Feng, he could be so forceful—not only blocking the other's offensive but also counterattacking so dominantly. It was hard to believe.
A few flashes of surprise first crossed Cang Jitian's ordinary face—after all, neither was ordinary—before an intensely fiery fighting spirit erupted in his eyes. With a shudder through his entire body, he severed the long sky.
Moreover, he formed a divine seal, raised his hand to shake the heavens, and met head-on the heavenly millstone crushing down from above, forcibly blasting it apart.
But he himself was also sent flying back, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. This was a scene that hadn't occurred even during his battle with Prince Gu Feng, shocking everyone with Ye Chen's strength.
However, Cang Jitian's expression didn't change as he soared into the sky.
At the same time, Ye Chen descended, shrouded in hazy divine radiance, appearing like a deity on the offensive, rampaging to kill in all directions!
